Lan Jing strode forward and walked back to where she had just been. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gonggong Gui took the holy decree and handed it to the emperor, and the emperor took the holy decree with one hand and unfolded it directly.

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said, Well, yes, this sentence starts very well. As he spoke, he glanced at Lan Jing, "Better than your father, he is a direct edict." ”

Lan Jing's face was stunned when he heard this, didn't the beginning of the holy decree be the emperor's edict carried by Fengtian?

The emperor didn't read it any more, and directly covered the jade seal and handed it to Gonggong Gui next to him.

Gonggong Gui walked out with the holy decree, and turned back after a while.

Qin Tongxin knew that he had been given marriage, his heart was pounding, and his mouth naturally cracked.

The emperor looked at the candidates in front of him and said, "I have read all your papers, and they are all very talented, and I am very pleased and entangled." ”

After a pause, he looked at Lan Jing and said, "Who does Tang Aiqing think should be the champion?"

Lan Jing has a black line, how would she know, she hasn't read their papers, and who knows if she said it, will he suddenly get angry and say that she has transgressed her duty?

"Tang Aiqing?" the emperor accentuated his tone.

"Wechen is here," Lan Jing arched his hand, "Your Majesty, Wechen hasn't read their scrolls, so he can't make a judgment." ”

The emperor leaned back slightly and waved his hand, and Gonggong Gui stepped forward and took down the scroll and gave it to Lan Jing.

Lan Jing took the paper and didn't hurriedly open it, but arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, a good article takes time to figure out, and Weichen thinks it's better to let the candidates explain their papers on the spot, so that the ministers present can appreciate the literary brilliance and eloquence of the new champion." ”

The emperor glanced at the candidates and said softly, "Yes." ”

As soon as the words fell, his eyes looked at the top of the list.

As the top of the list, a trace of panic flashed in Yu Feixiang's eyes, and his hand shook unconsciously. He, he was so happy because he was at the top of the list, he had already forgotten about the article.

After a long while, he didn't speak, and everyone had some doubts in their hearts.

The emperor glanced at him scrutinically, he also felt the emperor's gaze, and hurriedly stumbled: "Zhang, what my husband is aiming to do is to run the country, and I hope to make the envoys all over the world..."

When he stopped, an official in the second column sighed silently, he was Yu Feixiang's father, Yu Qingyu.

The Yu family has been scholarly for generations, and in the first year of the imperial examination, the ancestor entered Hanlin as a leader, and in the years that followed, each generation had those who could show their prominence in the imperial examination. Therefore, their Yu family is a real century-old family.

He also inherited the family tradition and studied hard since he was a child, although he only won the sixth place in the imperial examination, but he did not live up to the name of a century-old family.

When he learned that his son had taken the top exam, he was also overjoyed and felt blessed by his ancestors.

Although he also knew his son's literary talent, he thought that it was the examiner's preference, or to give face to the family, but he didn't expect it...

After a moment of silence, the second person stood up and read his article aloud.

After he stopped, Nie Zhiyuan also took a step forward and stated his article slowly.

The candidates in the back also took turns to read out their essays one by one.

The candidates are indeed talented, and they have made very reasonable arguments both in the analysis of the DPRK and in the future prospects.

Lan Jing looked at this group of young people in their twenties and felt ashamed of himself.

The emperor glanced at the courtiers in the column, his eyes stayed on Qingyu, and after a while, he turned away, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

When the atmosphere was about to solidify, he said: "Hand-picked Yu Feixiang as the champion of today's department, Nie Zhiyuan in the list of eyes, Qu Anguo in Tanhua, Jinshi and first, and the rest of the people are given Jinshi background." ”

Yu Feixiang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and glanced at Lan Jing proudly, even if you stumble on me, it's useless.

Lan Jing had a strange feeling in her heart, she felt that the emperor did not really fancy this champion hand-picked by her.

Yu Qingyu touched a cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, but there was not much joy on his face.

After hand-picking the champions, the candidates stood aside, and the chamberlain once again raised his voice to announce that the ten people on the top two list had come in.

This time, the emperor didn't ask any other questions, and it felt like he just asked a few words by name, and then he determined the inheritance, and then he was born as a scholar.

After the jinshi have all retired, it is a routine retreat from the dynasty without a book.

The back was all trivial matters, and the emperor didn't ask Lan Jing by name again, so she traveled all the way.

After retreating from the Fengtian Palace, Lan Jing thought about it and walked directly towards Cining Palace.

There were two palace maids guarding outside the gate of Cining Palace, and when they saw Lan Jing, they all stepped forward to salute.

Lan Jing smiled and nodded, "Hello two sisters, is the Queen Mother up?"

"Yushizi, the Queen Mother has already risen. The palace maid replied respectfully.

"Then I'm sorry for you to help pass it through, thank you. Lan Jing smiled.

"Yes, please wait. The palace maid was about to turn around and return to the palace, but Man Chun had already walked out of it.

She smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is thinking about you, the prince hasn't had breakfast yet, has she?"

Lan Jing nodded, "It's too early to use it yet." ”

"The Queen Mother has prepared a lot of food for you, waiting for you to eat together. Man Chun said with a smile.

How did the Queen Mother know that she would come?

In the hall, the queen mother was talking to the palace maid who was serving, and when she saw Lan Jing, she beckoned to her with a smile, "Come here." ”

Lan Jing smiled, thinking that he had something in his heart, and said cheekily: "Say hello to my grandmother, may my grandmother smile often." ”

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and beckoned again: "Come here." ”

Lan Jing answered "yes" and then gently walked to the opposite side of the Queen Mother and sat down, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, how did you know that I was coming?"

"The mourning family doesn't know, but the mourning family ordered someone to wait outside the Fengtian Palace, and when they see you come out, if you go back directly, let him call you. ”

As she spoke, the Queen Mother took a pastry and put it on the small bowl in front of Lan Jing.

The palace maids all retreated to the side at this time, Lan Jing was a little surprised, she always thought that the people in the palace had to wait for dinner, but she didn't expect the queen mother to personally clip snacks for her.

Looking at the steaming steamed cake, she swallowed her saliva, and regardless of whether it was appropriate to eat here, she directly picked it up and took a bite.

Yes, it is worthy of the imperial kitchen, it is very fluffy, and the mouth is full of fragrance.

The Queen Mother saw that Lan Jing was satisfied, and a doting smile appeared on her face, "This is what your mother likes to eat, but I didn't expect you to like to eat it too." ”

Hearing this, Lan Jing remembered the purpose of her trip and hurriedly put down her chopsticks, and looked at the Queen Mother pitifully, "Grandmother, can you let the emperor take off my official? I haven't even taken the Xiucai exam, how can I be an academician of Hanlin?"

"The mourning family just heard that you have done a good job, and the emperor is also very satisfied, and praised you. Don't be presumptuous, the mourners believe that you can do a good job. ”

"No, that, the emperor is not satisfied, he is not a compliment..."That obviously means that she doesn't understand the meaning of how to write the holy decree of this era, Lan Jing explained with a bitter face.

The Queen Mother looked at Lan Jing's pitiful little appearance and sighed, "It's really not a compliment to you? What can I do about this? Your official position is still from the Mourning family and your emperor's uncle, so the Mourning family can't help it now." ”

"Is there really no way?" Lan Jing asked again.

The Queen Mother shook her head, "The emperor Chrysostom said that the official who was given yesterday is impossible to take off your official hat today for no reason." ”

Lan Jing's face was depressed when he heard this, and he felt the urge to cry, so he put the pastry in his mouth, which tasted like chewing wax.

Half an hour later, she stood up and saluted, "Grandmother, I'll go back first." ”

The Queen Mother nodded lightly, watching Lan Jing walk out slowly with her head drooping, the corners of her mouth slightly curled.

The man chun beside her magically opened her eyes wide, the queen mother was actually happy because of the displeasure of the prince, this, why does it feel so weird?
